infinite night
... so they became
lights in the firmament,
stars in the night!
from darkness comes light
and of the deeper,
allured to those dreams
a loneliness is cast
toward the edge of forever
in longing swells.
there is nothing left to burn
when infernal anguishes sputter;
the stars are falling!
---
in infinite darkness
an ancient ache cried out
in a million quivering lights
as if the night wept stars --
